Buddha Quotes on this Wesak Day - May 13, 2014
I thought some Buddha quotes would be good on this Wesak Day, incidentally, it is on May 13 this year. For Malaysians, this day is a part of our history for on this day, in 1969, many in Kuala Lumpur perished as a result of a supposed racial riot. But that's for another day.
On this day of peace and Buddhist celebration, I wish You and Your Family well. (And Wesak Day is a National Holiday.. Yay!)

Happy Wesak Day!
A few Buddha quotes below to share:
- If you light a lamp for someone else it will also brighten your path.
- To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
- If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.
- If it is not truthful and not helpful, don't say it.
If it is truthful and not helpful, don't say it.
If it is not truthful and helpful, don't say it.
If it is truthful and helpful, wait for the right time.
- You can only lose what you cling to.

Buddha Has Returned
I read with interest the newspaper article about a 15-year-old Nepalese boy meditating beneath a pipal tree for months without food and water. This was sometime back.
Then last week, I saw a documentary on tv about him. The film showed him sitting beneath the tree, still, eyes closed. The place was crowded with pilgrims who came to the dense jungle of southern Nepal to worship this 15-year-old boy who has been hailed as a new Buddha.
Devotees claim that Ram Bomjon, who is silently meditating beneath a tree, has not eaten or drunk anything since he sat down at his chosen spot six months ago.
This is exactly how he looked like.
Three years have gone by.
The teenage boy revered by many as a reincarnation of Buddha sat silently in the jungle as he blessed his devotees Wednesday with a light tap on the head, which they consider the touch of the divine.
His face was still, his long hair spilled over his white robe, and he never said a word.
